+  website or the `Getting Started Guide
+  <https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/linux_gsg/build_dpdk.html>`_ document.

 * meson: The minimum supported version of meson for configuring and building
   DPDK will be increased to v0.47.1 (from 0.41) from DPDK 19.05 onwards. For
   those users with a version earlier than 0.47.1, an updated copy of meson
